How thick of a door would this drop box accomodate? Our door is 2-2 1/4 inches thick and I was wondering if this would work for us. Thank you

We had no problems installing 8 of these through doors and walls. You should have no problem installed through a 2-2-1/4" door.

somewhere I saw that the max. door thickness was 2" but I believe that you could still install it in a 2and a quarter in. door however the drop box handle would be recessed slightly in the door. The outer frame should cover any cut edges.

This box is actually adjustable to fit the door width. The door we installed it in was 2.75

If the entire door is 1/2" thick then no, if you are talking about a hollow door with 1/2" thick walls then yes.

Yes, it will fit, but will stick out. To be precise, it is not 2.5" wide, more like 1.75. My door is a little more than 1.5" wide.I have side sticking out on inside of garage and it works great. Since product is solid metal, it will not bend as long as where the base lands is flat. The trick will be where you screw; you will not be centered, so risk of loss of integrity. Get longer screws at slight angle. I added a few more and set to be in middle of door. Be sure to pre-drill new holes prior to installing. That should do it.

I believe my door was 1" thick. It can fit thicker doors, also. Up to about 1½", 1¾", at least. I installed it last year, and it works great. (I sold the trailer, so I can't go out and measure the door now.)

that's what I have. The plastic is thick, so depending on the area your door is you may be good to go. My wife was worried about kids poking their fingers through, but did not want to do the work necessary to add a 1/8" vaneer to the door. So, I put down a contact paper and that worked out very well. I stappled the contact paper top and bottom for extra strength.... but personnally, if you don't have kids. Just put it up.....it ROCKS.

Mine is mounted in a door 2" thick. I think the shoulders alone add up to more than 3/4". In my opinion, no, 1/4" is too thin. Hope this is helpful.

It will be perfect for you guys then, it is too low for a standard door. I feel like it would be the exact fit for a 7 1/2 foot door to 9 foot.

It fits nicely over a 1 1/2 - 2 inch door frame, I guess 2 inches is the salient point in this :).....the frame it goes over would have to be at least an inch

I have it on small platform about 1" thick. Otherwise the door would probably be hard to open.

My door is 1 3/4 in thick and it fits perfectly with no sliding. Probably will slide around on smaller door.

I purchased this to install at work on a door that is 1-3/4" thick, knowing that we would modify to fit. The maximum door width that this fits is about 1-1/2".

No need to worry about the width of the door; as for the thickness, unless they're REALLY think you'll be OK. The portions which attach to top and bottom of door have an adjustable tension strap between them which helps compensate for thinner doors. If your doors are still to thin then you could throw some cardboard in gaps between the door and the attachment pieces.

This will work with these type doors, if it is top mounted. The only thing to watch is the mounting plate on top is 3/4" wide, so it won't look right on a thinner panel than that.

The specific cat door I purchased and the one in the picture I have been asked to review, is recommended for "thin doors and screens up to 1/2-inch thick." I installed it into a 1/2 thick screen porch wall...anything thicker, such as an interior wall or typical door would not work for this specific product. You need to get a cat door recommended for whatever thickness your wall or door is. I did not have to frame the opening...just cut out the hole and the door itself acted as the frame.

That should be fine. My problem is that many of my door frames are only a quarter inch thick but anything above that should be fine

I have mine over a door that is almost 1 and a half inches thick. Without any room to spear. The door is a little thinner than 1 and a half inches. I hope this helps.
